@liberaforms I have been using #LiberaForms for embedding polls on my own website and I really like it but I haven't been able to solve a certain issue and that is multiple votes by the same person as just refreshing the page resets the form, so even if the person just doesn't remember if they already voted or not, they might end up voting twice.
Maybe the solution is so obvious that I can't find anything on the issue but I have no clue how to prevent this π
Help?
